New horizons: Latest developments changing Queensland’s skyline
InDaily takes a look at the latest developments and properties changing hands as the state continues to expand.
Acting Premier awards Northshore Hamilton project
Five leading Queensland builders are set to develop Northshore Hamilton following a competitive state government tender process.
EDQ will invest $154 million in critical enabling infrastructure for the project, which is expected to contribute more than $14 billion to the Queensland economy and provide up to 2,200 new homes.
GRAYA, Joe Adsett Developments, Lancini, Red & Co and Greyburn will deliver residential and mixed-use precincts across five sites, including 21,600sqm of shops, dining and services as well as free and open community space on previously fenced off industrial land.
The 11,000 sqm plot is one of the last major riverfront sites left in Brisbane’s largest-ever urban renewal precinct with 2.5km of river frontage.
GRAYA is set to deliver a mixed-use development featuring 435 homes, a 50-bed hotel plus retail and commercial spaces.
Both Red & Co and Joe Adsett Developments will deliver approximately 440 and 430 homes through two-tower developments, alongside retail and commercial spaces.
Lancini will create a new community heart for Northshore Hamilton with a 15,000 sqm shopping and commercial hub including a full-line supermarket and potential medical, childcare, education, business and community facilities along with 484 homes.
Greyburn will deliver a staged residential development featuring 402 homes across four medium-rise buildings, together with ground-floor retail offerings.
The proposal will respond to the site’s riverfront location and the city’s subtropical climate, with EDQ overseeing the project as landowner, master developer and planning authority over the next 15 to 20 years.

Construction on the first homes is expected to commence in 2028 once catalyst infrastructure works are completed, and the first residents are expected to move in from 2031, subject to planning approvals and other factors.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie said this was the beginning of a major “river-lution” of Brisbane’s northside.
“We’re open for business and backing the building industry, and there’s more to come as we transform both sides of the banks of the brown snake, including the redevelopment of the old Visy site at South Brisbane,” Bleijie said.

Leading construction firm locks in St Lucia development
The award-winning Teneriffe-based construction company GRAYA also recently received approval for Silk, its riverfront project located in St Lucia at 16-18 Sandford Street.
The 810 sqm site is positioned on a tightly held bend of the Brisbane River with a northern aspect across Orleigh Park towards the Brisbane CBD skyline.
GRAYA’s project plans for the site include 16 split-floor and six full-floor residences across 15 levels with river, park and CBD outlooks, and will be designed around scale, privacy and outlook.
The approved design’s residences have been planned as permanent homes with proportion, separation and river orientation carried through, positioned to combine the ease of apartment living with the privacy of a private home.
The project approval allows GRAYA to begin construction planning immediately, forming part of the company’s growing $2 billion pipeline of more than 14 projects across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Silk will join the firm’s existing projects The Gallery apartment building in Hamilton, the recently lodged $700 million The Silo project in the James Street Precinct and the recently completed Toowong residential project Spyre, giving the team direct experience delivering a significant residential project on a constrained riverfront site.

One of Australia’s largest industrial sites up for grabs
For the first time in nearly two decades, one of the country’s largest privately controlled industrial landholdings is hitting the market.
